Chapter 44: The Solicitation of Light
After Stark's repeated persuasion, Xia Le pretended to give up the idea of "I can't solve this matter, so I will solve the person who caused it".
After eating Stark's junk food, Xia Le returned to his rented place in Los Angeles, a high-end apartment with an area of about 200 square meters.
With Tony Stark's financial support, Charlotte is now in the third line.
Not only the TV series, but also anime and manga about the Giant of Light are also in the works.
In Stark's face, this animation was produced by the extremely famous ufotable club in Sakura Country.
The comics are co-created by several comic book artists from DC.
After all, the themes of the Giant of Light are very distinct: love, justice, and light, as well as fighting monsters.
In this case, even with the help of Jenny and Adina, Charlotte is in a state of being overwhelmed.
After all, Xia Le and Adina are both novices, and Jenny is just a small agent, and neither of them has been able to get results.
To this end, Xia Le also entrusted a headhunting company to help him find a suitable candidate to serve as the CEO of his giant company of light.
"Giant of Light" is a special film that has neither action scenes nor other places to train except for a stand-in in a leather case, which can be said to be very ordinary, and does not require the actors to join the group in advance.
At present, the crew is in the preparatory stage. Xia Le and the props team discussed the production of the leather case, discussed the plot of the Giant of Light with the screenwriter, and took a look at the resume sent by the headhunter by the way.
During this period, Minato Chaoyang and Ultraman Sora provided a lot of material for Xia Le.
As everyone knows. Ultraman protects the Earth in various parallel worlds, and there are many outstanding ones.
For example, Ultraman Ace, the saw man of light, Ultraman Leo, the father of the old and strong Ultraman.
They are all extremely good warriors of light, and naturally there are many deeds in the Land of Light.
When Xia Le was fine, he chatted with Minato Chaoyang and Sora, asking them about the deeds of these Ultramans.
Then they are deleted and revised, and the stories are written into stories, and the writers of the special effects films, animation companies, and DC cartoonists are responsible for modifying these stories into regular appearances.
Of course, the protagonist of each of these stories is called Natsu.
After all, every time Ultraman appears, doesn't he always shout "Natsu"?
β¦β¦
After being busy in the dark for nearly a month, Xia Le finally had time to be free.
The crew will start up in three days, and he will be busy again, so he will seize the time to rest.
During these three days, Xia Le chose to fly back to New York and came to Mindy's house.
After a month in the hospital, Damon was discharged.
His arm is still fractured, with a cast and bandage hanging from his neck.
His legs and feet are also a little inflexible, and he needs to walk with crutches.
But Damondo is a strong man.
He rejected the offer of Mindy, who had already started school, to stay at home to take care of him, and took care of his life with one hand.
When Xia Le came to Mindy's house, he found that in the past month, the man, who was only forty years old this year, had become much older.
There were a few more wrinkles on his face, and a few strands of white hair appeared in his originally pale blonde hair, which looked very gloomy and tinge.
Charlotte could still smell tobacco from him.
"It's summer."
Seeing someone through the monitor, Damon opened the door with a smile and invited Xia Le to come in.
"Mindy has told me a lot about you, and there has been news about you in the news lately. Aren't you busy with a TV series? How can you still have time to come. β
"I've been fine for the last two days, so I'm coming to see you and Mindy. In a few days, the TV series will be launched, and I will be busy again. β
Charlotte took a bottle of red wine from Tony Stark and handed it to Damon.
"This is the wine I got from Tony Stark, I hope you like it."
Damon took the bottle and looked at it, his eyes lit up.
"RomanΓ©e Conti in 1992? Good stuff! β
During the time when he was bent on avenging his wife and himself, Damon quit smoking and drinking, and concentrated on fighting the power of the big drug lord Frank.
But now that Frank is dead, he seems to be numbing himself with nicotine and alcohol, despite the fact that he is still a wounded man, and he smokes and drinks together.
Xia Le looked at Damon's faltering decadent appearance, thought for a moment and said.
"Damon, now that Frank is dead, would you be interested in being my head of security? My company had just been set up, and I was short of people to help me. β
Damon put the wine away and looked back at Xia Le in surprise.
Soon, he understood that it was Xia Le taking care of himself, and shook his head with a smile and refused.
"Forget it. I can be a bodyguard like this? β
"Who says you can't do this?"
Charlotte held out her hand and aimed it at Damon.
In Damon's surprised expression, countless points of light flew out of his hands, surrounding him like fireflies, and quickly merged into his body.
"This is?!"
Suddenly confronted with something that cannot be explained by science, Damon's eyes widened.
But as more and more light points entered his body, Damon could clearly feel that the pain in his body was fading, and the injury was rapidly improving.
Ten seconds later, Xia Le put down his hand.
"Okay now, right? If you don't speak, I'll take you by default! β
At this time, Damon was treated by the light energy and was already extremely healthy.
He moved his hands and feet, and was surprised to find that the injuries on his body had healed!
The doctor said that it would take another two months to heal, and there would be serious sequelae afterward.
Damon was stunned for a long time and smiled bitterly at Xia Le.
"Okay, Natsu, you'll be my boss from now on."
As an adult who has experienced the ups and downs of life and has been torn between life and death several times, Damon did not ask this and that in the end.
He just reminded Xia Le.
"Does Mindy know about this?"
Xia Le nodded.
"Of course. She knew before you got hurt. β
Hearing Xia Le say this, Damon was even more sure that Xia Le and Mindy were indeed very good friends, otherwise he would not have told Mindy about it.
Although Damon would love for Mindy to make some friends of the same age and make up for her missing childhood experiences and fun.
But having Xia Le as a friend is better than having none of Mindy's previous friends.
To celebrate his recovery, Damon went out to buy some groceries and prepare a big meal for the evening.
When Mindy came back from school, he looked at Xia Le, who was sitting and watching TV in the living room, and said in surprise.
"Natsu, you're here!"
"Hey, Mindy."
Xia Le reached out and touched his fist with Mindy, and smiled at her.
"Mindy, go kill him at night?"
Hearing this, Mindy almost jumped up with joy and cheered.
"That's great! It's been a month that has suffocated me! Do you have a goal? β
Xia Le said indifferently.
"It doesn't matter if you have a goal or not. Let's take a walk around Hell's Kitchen and see what the unlucky ones are. β
Mindy grinned, revealing a mouthful of pretty little white teeth.
"Okay, no problem!"
